random misfire help!!

hey every one. i have a 1987 Toyota 4 runner with a 22re motor. the misfire will get even worse at 3 thousand rpm and up. i have replaced every thing from the rotor to the spark plugs 3 months ago. and i have checked resistance ratings for the coil and pick up coil and i have checked the injectors and cleaned them. i also checked compression on all cylinders they are with in 2 psi of each other. no plugs are fouled they are all the perfect color and i also pulled each plug wire off to see if it would change the idle. also did a fuel pressure test its within specs. so if any one has an idea it would be GREATLY appreciated.

Check your injector harness near the EGR valve a friend had a bad missfire/stumble & had it to several shops they cleaned his injectors twice, plugs, cap, rotor & it kept coming back he was thinking possible TPS problem . He brought it to me & I searched the post's here & found one where someone had found the injector harness melted thru where it had been contacting the pipe on the EGR I checked this & sure enough it was rubbing & melted thru repaired it & problem solved. This was on a 89 22re in a pickup.
